5.0 out of 5 stars
A sublime rendering of Watteau,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Antoine Watteau (Hardcover)
Everyone who loves Watteau should have this beautiful book at hand. It has so much to offer in textual analyses, that when you see the actual Watteaus at the Louvre, Posner's delvings into these paintings places you in Watteau's world, a mysterious one, not easily accessed by anyone.I lament Posner's passing, but I will never lament his great work on Watteau. I think the treatment of Watteau's "Pelerinage a l'ile de Cythere," 1717 deserves special singularization; to miss this analysis is to be cheated out of a large part of 18th Century French culture. |
